It is probably worthless. The sort of thing a charity shop or an antique shop might sell for a fiver. These sorts of books were commemorative souvenirs essentially and widely available in various forms. This one is in quite a poor exterior condition so I wouldn’t have thought a collector would give it much time. I used to work in rare books (though don’t claim to know it all by any stretch) and this is the sort of thing that would be considered for the bin.
I might be wrong, maybe there is something about it that makes it unique or remarkable in some way, but I can’t see any sign of that from the photos.

I found two similar books on eBay ([1](https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/176820754098) and [2](https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/166813457126)), but I’m not sure if they’re the same – and their prices are quite different 😅
